Hi. I'm creating this blog as a place to list recipes that I've found and enjoy eating. I find that being gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan is not very difficult, but there aren't a lot of cookbooks or blogs dedicated to specifically these types of recipes. To take matters into my own hands, I am collecting recipes and listing them as a resource for all you out there who, like me, like to eat gluten-free, soy-free, vegan food:)

Chickpea Tangine wth Cinnamon, Cumin, and Carrots

I love this recipe - quick, easy, tasty, and cheap - what could be better?

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 2-3 minutes, or until onion slices are soft. Stir in chickpeas, carrots, spices, agave nectar, and 2 cups of water. cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

serve with parsley as a garnish. I like to serve this over rice just to make it last a bit longer.

I just wanted to throw something out there ... in case the soy avoidance was for thyroid disease.

My thyroid specialist just told me to avoid chick peas because they are a cousin to the soy bean and contain the same chemicals (the isoflavones genistein & daidzein)... as well as peanuts, almonds and walnuts.

About Me

Hi! I am currently a student at Williams College. I became a vegan fairly recently (spring '08) and am slightly obsessed with cooking. Please email me with any feedback about my blog or with recipes you would like to share with me:) My email is: 09cab@williams.edu. I'd like to note that I do my best to credit where I'm getting these recipes from, and that sometimes it is difficult to find the original source of a recipe. Because of this, all recipes are credited to the person or place where I found them and not necessarily to the person who first invented them.
